After the session has ended, the guests were invited to have a chat and further consultation with the Su Misura stylists. COVERED’s very own Johannes See had the opportunity to consult Su Misura’s specialist, Billy Legaspi on how Johannes could “better his chances” at winning “The Most Stylish Gentlemen Award” at this year’s Prestige Ball. The reply? It is strongly recommended that a gentlemen returns for alteration checks on his suit or tuxedo, at least once every 2 to 3 years.
